when i measure the current using mulltimetr not gev me Fixed numberDischarge the battery into a known load, then measure the current and the time.
I'll bet you are shorting the battery by connecting the ammeter across it without a series load resistor....when i measure the current using mulltimetr not gev me Fixed number
Different numbers and then disappear
Does not have datahave you got a picture of the battery?
Then Ohms law tells me that you do not have a FIXED and CONSTANT load. An ammeter is a very low resistance, and could be damaged by doing what you did. Pick a resistor that will give you say 50 milliamps.when i measure the current using mulltimetr not gev me Fixed number

resistance value 20 omWhat is the resistance value of your load?
series load resistor 20 om shorting the batteryI'll bet you are shorting the battery by connecting the ammeter across it without a series load resistor....
li-ion 18490 3.7 vwhat is the number on the battery
?
i will do itThen Ohms law tells me that you do not have a FIXED and CONSTANT load. An ammeter is a very low resistance, and could be damaged by doing what you did. Pick a resistor that will give you say 50 milliamps.
3.7 Volts / .050 Amperes ≈ 75 Ohms
The ammeter in series with the resistor goes across the battery terminals. Just to be extra safe estimate the power dissipated by the resistor as
(.050 Amperes)^2 * 75 Ohms ≈ 187.5 milliwats
So a quarter watt resistor will get warm but not explode.
looks like 1400maH @ 3.7V

thank youlooks like 1400maH @ 3.7V

i will do it thank youI'm guessing that size is about 1500mAh.
If 20Ω (180mA load current) pulls that battery down immediately, then it is totally discharged, and needs charging before you do any more tests.
